Paukarlahticon V

The fifth Paukarlahticon was on 3-5.June and there were more people than ever there. 30 people came to play over the weekend which I am really happy about. A lot of games played, a lot of beer drunk and lots of war stories in the sauna!

Here are some random photos of some of the games played there. I will make separate posts on Cold War Commander and General de Brigade so you can check those out too.

A lot of Muskets & Tomahawks and Ronin going on this time. I think this is Ronin, correct me if I'm wrong.

Epic 40 000. My Dark Angels vs. Necrons. Looking good!

Or not. I was wiped away promptly. I really need to learn how to play this game :)

Late night drunken Bamboleo.

Good old Heroquest. Which is the best game ever made, obviously.

A tutorial game of Frostgrave.

Soldiers of God. I was interested in this but was too busy showing off Frostgrave to pay too much attention. It looked pretty card driven.

A friend of mine brought his 3D printer. 3D printing will definitely revolutionize our hobby in the coming years. I'll show off some printed stuff I paint later this summer.

The printer at work.

There were boardgames played as usual but as usual I was preoccupied in the miniatures section. If someone took photos, send them and I'll add them to the report.

Frostgrave: Thaw of the lich lord scenario 8

Not much left in our campaign. Just two more games after this and the Lich Lord will be done for!

Scenario 8: The Dark Cauldron

Cultists are cooking something odd in a big cauldron, the adventurers invite themselves to dinner

There is a big cauldron in the middle of the board which the cultists are guarding. Every turn a zombie crawls out. The soup must be spilled!

My opponent was undermanned as he had something like three warriors missing out of the game. He was also suffering from exceptionally bad luck when trying to get his spells to work so he was content to grab the two treasures he could claim and retreat when things got ugly.

I played pretty aggressively and had the fortune to drop his captain early on. I also hurt his apprentice and bound him in combat. The apprentice fought valiantly but eventually fell in personal combat against my wizard and his new pet dog. 

Wizard vs. Apprentice

Other than that, the cultists killed my treasure hunter and made my barbarian and my archer miss the next game. Nasty losses but since I got a lion's share of the treasure, XP and loot for this mission, I'm not concerned.

My wizard is now level 33 which coupled with good items and henchmen makes him quite dangerous.
